Homebrew Beer Labels

This is just a bit of graphic design fun. My middle brother started brewing his own beer his last year in college and his first labels were nametags with sharpie. When his son was born, I made labels for a beer he had brewed for the due date. And now they're a fun excuse to practice graphic design and use a vinyl cutter. The labels (so far!) are shown in the slideshow below.

Because apparently it takes a village

Belgian Dubbel: Foster Brew

This beer was brewed to be ready on his due date. I made two versions, and these were printed on adhesive label paper.

Irish Red Ale: The Scarlet Sweater

At our first meeting, I used a wristband and a spoon from my backpack to see if attaching spoon to a different location helped. It didn't.

Irish Red Ale: Rudolph the Red-nosed Reinbeer

Alternate label for the Irish Red Ale.

Pliny the Elder: Engagement Beer

This beer was made for my older brother's engagement party, and the labels were made on a vinyl cutter. This label has had the most bottles stolen, which I have decided is a compliment. Or we have criminal friends.
